Chapter 28
"You didn't get the list?"
Jiang Xiaotang stared at Wei Haoze dangerously, as if in disbelief, repeated: "Tell me again, what I just heard...you didn't get the list?"
On the side, Jiang Haichao's face was also very gloomy, but he didn't curse, but said in a deep tone: "Hao Ze, haven't you been communicating with them for almost a month, why did you blow it up suddenly? Please explain carefully, what happened."
Wei Haoze pursed his lips, and said with an ugly face: "It's the same as what I just said. In the past month or so, Manager Zhang has practiced Tai Chi every time, and he hangs me without saying whether it's okay or not."
Wei Haoze: "This time, they finally gave me an answer, thanked us, and finally said that they have found a suitable choice!"
Jiang Haichao: "Who did they choose?"
Wei Haoze: "I asked, but he didn't tell me. That old fox!"
Jiang Xiaotang scolded angrily.She was sick to death.Grandpa Jiang had always attached great importance to the two grandsons of the eldest brother of the Jiang family. This time, she thought that her family could win at any rate. Thinking of Wei Haoze's cooperation with the Qi family, she felt more confident in front of her family.
Jiang Xiaotang: "My bullshit is blown out, can you tell me now?"
Jiang Xiaotang: "If you can't do it, why did you say something at the family banquet? Don't you know how embarrassing I will be?"
"Shut up!" Jiang Haichao was so annoyed that he couldn't help spinning around in the study, turning around to stop Jiang Xiaotang's noise.He was calmer than Jiang Xiaotang, calmed down and asked, "Is there any room for maneuver?"
Wei Haoze's eyes darkened when he thought of the things he had sent and returned: "It's probably... difficult."
Jiang Haichao finally cursed: "It's not the Wang family, it's the Feng family. His great-grandfather Wang's skills are not as good as others, and he was inferior to my father. He has been holding a grudge for decades."
Jiang Haichao: "The Feng family is not a good guy either. They are all smiling. Obviously the dishes they cook are not very delicate, but there are a lot of twists and turns."
Jiang Haichao thought for a while, then changed his mind and said: "It is also very likely that the surname Chang did it! That guy was in the Jixiang Building back then. He seemed to be diligent and hardworking. He couldn't beat a fart with three sticks, but he didn't make a soundThe ground was dug and our people ran away!"
Wei Haoze said hesitantly: "I seem to have heard that Master Pan Xingchangpan from City B recently came to our city."
Jiang Haichao was taken aback: "Pan Xingchang?"
He had heard of the name Pan Xingchang, and the name Pan Xingchang might be unfamiliar to the public, but when it comes to Panjialou, many people know it.In their catering circle, the Pan family's craftsmanship is indeed one of the benchmarks.
Jiang Haichao: "If it's really Pan Xingchang... then I'm convinced too. The Qi family is rich and powerful, so it's not surprising that they can afford Master Pan."
...
Coming out of Jiang Haichao's study, Wei Haoze's expression, which he was struggling to maintain, suddenly became ferocious.
He ran back and forth, busy, not to mention that he didn't get the list, and he was blamed by Jiang's father and Jiang Xiaotang.
At this moment, Wei Haoze was in no mood to appease the angry Jiang Xiaotang behind him, he walked into the nearby bathroom silently, washed his face with cold water, and then exhaled slowly.
Looking at the handsome face in the mirror, Wei Haoze fell silent, thinking of Jiang Ci.
When Qi Shi met Jiang Ci, he was too surprised, and what surprised him even more was Gao Deyun's attitude.He couldn't figure it out, why did Jiang Ci appear there?
But he didn't mention this matter to Jiang Xiaotang, because he was afraid that Jiang Xiaotang would hear about it and make trouble with him again.
Of course, he didn't mention it to Jiang Haichao either.
Because that scene was so humiliating.
Wei Haoze didn't want anyone to know.
...
Near the end of the term, Liu Xiao stopped various student activities and spent more time in the library.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Xiao raised his head from the thick textbook with difficulty.It was the time when she was most prone to sleepiness in the afternoon, and Liu Xiao felt dizzy, and the densely packed type made her dazzled.
What to do!Knowledge...it just doesn't enter the brain!Liu Xiao wailed in her heart.
Liu Xiao stared at the typeface in a daze for a while. After realizing that she couldn't see it in a daze, she let out a weary breath, took out her mobile phone, and prepared to fish for a while.
Liu Xiao first watched a few cute pet videos to feel the healing feeling brought by the little animals.She gradually relaxed, a silent smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she leaned back comfortably on the chair.
But the next moment, she sat up straight again.
After watching the short video of the hamster holding the sunflower seeds in its paws, its cheeks bulging, and gnawing the sunflower seeds until it "squeaks"...
Liu Xiao scrolled down to a piece of content.
@Feng Qianguan: New products are available today!The rich sauce, fat, glutinous and soft sauce big bone, welcome new and old customers to taste![Picture: Sauce Big Bone.gif]
In the moving picture, a thick and fat big bone with sauce was taken out of the cauldron by a big iron clamp, and the rich and slightly thick sauce slowly, slowly... slipped from it.
The brownish-red oily color, just the right thickness, can easily arouse people's appetite with just one glance.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Dagu was clamped onto a small white porcelain plate by the sinful iron clamp.The thick, chunky, oily and delicious big bone meat makes it impossible for the big stick bone to be placed flat on the porcelain plate, and can only be placed obliquely.And the sauce that slipped from it gradually flowed onto the small porcelain plate...
The animation stops here.
Liu Xiao's extremely sleepy spirit after reading a book, seemed to straighten up all of a sudden and come back to life.
She clicked on this content, and only ten minutes after it was posted, the number of likes in the lower right corner had already reached dozens—after these days of publicity, Feng Qianguan's number of fans finally slowly increased to several hundred.
Although the number of fans is small, the activity is very high.
[@小罗want to lose weight: Sis!!You are poisonous!!It's not time for dinner yet!You post this?]
[@One mouthful eats into a big fat man: Boss!!Please leave me a copy of woo woo woo, I'll go there after get off work!I warn you not to limit yourself!!Otherwise... I'll get down on my knees and beg you Otz]
[@糖心汤圆: I'll go...do you have to serve new dishes when I'm away on business?!It’s too hard for me, tears streaming down my face while eating steamed buns in the deep mountains and old forests [Wow, crying.jpg]]
...
Liu Xiao didn't comment, but couldn't help but like it.
There was a buzzing in her stomach, and Xi didn't want to recover immediately, her legs were so restless that she wanted to rush out of the school gate immediately.
"thump!"
Suddenly, there was a sound of a heavy object falling to the ground on the opposite side of his desk. Liu Xiao raised his head, pale with fright, and quickly got up and went around.
"My God, Molly! What's the matter with you?"
When the students nearby saw what happened here, they became agitated.
"Student, are you okay? Do you want to call an ambulance?"
"Hurry up and call! I'll make a call. Which student has the school doctor's phone to call at the same time, I don't save it!"
"Classmates, wake up, how do you feel, are you awake?"
In Liu Xiao's arms lay a half-conscious girl.The girl leaned weakly in her arms, her face was delicate, her skin was fair, and she was thin and small, as if she would fall down when the wind blows.
After the initial dizziness, the girl gradually recovered, and said in a weak voice, "I...I'm fine..."
Liu Xiao: "Why are you all right? Are you always like this? Is there any...problem?" Liu Xiao was worried that the girl had some hidden disease that she didn't want to tell others, so she asked, "Do you have any regular medicines?"
"It's really all right." The girl shook her head lightly, "Maybe a little low blood sugar... I didn't eat in the morning or at noon."
"How can you not eat? Hypoglycemia is also very dangerous!" Facing the extremely weak girl, Liu Xiao couldn't say anything serious, but quickly raised her head and asked, "Which classmate has chocolate or something with a lot of sugar?", please borrow it."
"I have it, I have it." Soon, a classmate handed over a bar of chocolate.
The girl tilted her head subconsciously when she saw the chocolate.This thing is too sweet, she doesn't like it.
However, under Liu Xiao's gaze, she still ate some obediently.
A few minutes later, the school doctor rushed over in a hurry, and he was relieved when he saw that the girl was conscious.Later, the girl went to the clinic to confirm that it was indeed hypoglycemia, and there was no other problem.
The school doctor pressed her and filled her stomach with something before letting her out of the clinic.
Leaving the school infirmary, Liu Xiao said with lingering fear, "Jasmine, you scared me just now! Do you know how worried I am?"
The thin and beautiful girl tilted her head in embarrassment, and said softly, "I'm sorry, Liu Xiao, for causing you trouble."
Liu Xiao: "No trouble. The teacher asked me to help you in your study and life. This is what I should do."
The girl in front of me is an exchange student from country N. Her Chinese name is Moli. Her research direction involves Chinese culture. So she came to University A to study for a year, and she will go back after earning enough credits.
When Liu Xiao was arranged by the teacher to take charge of her, she was actually quite happy.The girl looks exquisite and beautiful, which makes people feel a little protective.And the voice is sweet, and the words are very polite, and he rarely troubles her.
After going back and forth, Liu Xiao also became good friends with her.
Liu Xiao asked curiously: "Why don't you eat breakfast and lunch? You don't have class today, you should have enough time."
Some students who take morning classes may miss their meal because they get up late, but it is unreasonable to miss lunch together.
Jasmine: "I... wrote the thesis last night, it was too late, and I didn't have time to prepare today's lunch..."
Liu Xiao: "Then eat something else, I asked you at noon if you want to go to the dining hall together!"
Jasmine hesitated for a while, and finally told the truth under Liu Xiao's questioning.
When she was in her hometown, the food she ate was relatively light, and she was used to simple things in taste. Although oil, salt, and sauce were actually not annoying, the large oil and salt in the school cafeteria was still too much for her.up.
On the first day she came to University A, she was recommended to eat the fried eggplant in the dining hall. The first bite she took, she took a bite full of oil...
After that, Jasmine struggled to try the canteen a few times, but she couldn't eat enough. At most, she ate some steamed custard, but steamed custard was not available every day, and she already had a psychological shadow on the school cafeteria.
Liu Xiao wondered, "There are many choices outside of school."
There are four gates in University A, east, west, north, south, and each gate has a snack street dedicated to student business.Egg-filled pancakes, grilled cold noodles, beef noodles, roast chicken stew pot... cheap big bowls, everything you need, it is simply a happy paradise for students.
Jasmine shook her head gently: "...unhygienic."
The greasy desktop, the environment where the students were all drooling, the hidden kitchen... She lost her appetite just by imagining it a little.
Liu Xiao sighed, and felt troublesome after listening to Jasmine's explanation.
She can understand Jasmine, but she can't say that her life is too delicate... It's just this stomach, there is no way, if you can't eat it, you can't eat it.
Liu Xiao asked worriedly: "Then you have to make your own bento every day? Isn't it troublesome? Your thesis topic is not easy."
Jasmine smiled lightly and said, "There is no other way."
Jasmine stared at Liu Xiao for a while, smiling sweetly: "Liu Xiao, thank you for caring about me, you are so kind."
The bell for the end of get out of class rang in the campus, and Liu Xiao instinctively shuddered. She took out her mobile phone and looked at it. It was five o'clock!
After many days of intense and exciting food grabbing, this number has a special meaning to her.
An idea took shape in her mind.
Liu Xiao: "Jasmine, are you free? I'll take you to a restaurant. It's delicious. Try it and see if you can eat it."
"If you're free, you're free..." Jasmine's face was filled with embarrassment, "But, I don't want to waste your time, I'm afraid I'm going to trouble you again..."
"No trouble, no trouble. I'm planning to go there today." Liu Xiao suggested, "Just try it. If it doesn't taste good, I'll accompany you to the supermarket to buy ingredients. But what if you get used to it?"
Jasmine hesitated for a moment, but Liu Xiao's expression was very sincere, full of concern for herself.
If she just refuses like this, she will be sad.
Later, no matter what, force yourself to take two bites... She should be able to do it just by taking two bites.
A sweet smile appeared on Jasmine's face again: "Okay, I'll go with you."
...
At half past five, Feng Qianguan ushered in a peak of passenger flow.
The diners who walked into the store rushed to the front of the counter enthusiastically.
"Boss Jiang, is there a new dish today? You didn't even notify me. If I hadn't seen the picture you sent, I would have been late today!"
"Yes, yes, Boss Jiang, let me know in advance next time!"
Jiang Ci smiled and said: "It's also a temporary decision. If I was notified yesterday and I can't get in today, wouldn't I be embarrassed."
"why is it like this!"
"Don't worry, just let me know, and we won't blame you if you can't get in!"
"Yes! We will force you to do it on the spot!"
"..." Jiang Ci smiled, "I've already notified you in advance, so I won't be blogging anymore!"
Jiang Ci did not notify in advance, and there was another layer of concern, that is, every time a new dish was served, she would need a day or two to test the supply required in the store and see the diners' feedback on the new dish.
According to He Mingcan, this is to conduct a round of internal testing among regular customers.
If more people know about it, it will be embarrassing if the store can't keep up with the quantity of the day.
The diners saw that Jiang Ci's place was like an iron plate and couldn't get in, so they shifted their targets one after another and surrounded He Mingcan who was serving dishes.
"Xiao He, come to us to add an X letter, in case your boss has any new moves, you can tell me privately."
"Yeah, yeah, Xiao He, I think my face looks familiar, right? That's right! Tell me, is there a contribution from me in your monthly bonus? Will you help me with this?"
"Brother Mingcan, add an X letter, we can talk about other things besides food, but it would be best if we can talk about food!"
He Mingcan got goosebumps from fright, quickly finished serving the dishes, and returned to the back kitchen as if fleeing.
When Liu Xiao walked into the store with Jasmine, the store was still noisy. The diners crowded in front of the counter and argued with Jiang Ci. The enthusiastic chatting was mixed with secret temptations and lobbying. You came and went.
Liu Xiao knew that Jasmine didn't like crowded places, so she found an empty table in the corner: "Jasmine, sit here first. Look at the menu on the wall, I'll order what you want."
Looking at the noisy scene in the store, Jasmine felt her head was getting a little big.But Liu Xiao took her here by taxi, and she was too embarrassed to ignore her.
Moreover, the sanitation here is really good, there is no oil on the table, and the air is filled with fragrance, without the smell of oily smoke in some restaurants.
Jasmine looked at the menu carefully: "I want a steamed bun with shepherd's purse and fresh meat."
Liu Xiao reminded: "Xiao Long Bao is not big, one cage may not be enough to eat."
"It's okay, I don't eat much." Jasmine said, it would be good if she could eat a little, and she probably couldn't finish it.
"Okay." Liu Xiao got up to order.
On Feng Qianguan's menu wall, a small menu board was newly hung today. She noticed it from the moment she entered the store, and her heart flew over.
[Salted big bone: 68 yuan/piece]
Liu Xiao squeezed to the side of the noisy diners, and said loudly, "Boss Jiang, I want to order! A steamed bun with shepherd's purse and fresh meat, a piece of wonton noodles, and a stewed big bone!"
Jiang Ci finally saw a serious orderer, and quickly broke away from the diners: "Look, if you don't order again, someone else will order a new dish later!"
The diners were startled, and then they remembered their original intention, and hurriedly lined up behind Liu Xiao.
After ordering, Liu Xiao happily returned to the table.Jasmine looked at her happy face and asked curiously: "Liu Xiao, are you happy? What did you order?"
"I ordered wonton noodles and stewed big bones." Liu Xiao recalled the moving picture she saw, and couldn't help but say to Jasmine, "Would you like to try stewed big bones, this is a new product today, very deliciousIt’s delicious, it’ll be gone when it’s too late!”
Jasmine caught the loophole in her words: "You said this is a new product, you haven't tried it yet, how do you know it's delicious?"
Liu Xiao said naturally: "Of course! Boss Jiang's craftsmanship is not delicious!"
Jasmine: "..."
The dishes in the restaurant were all prepared in advance. Not long after Liu Xiao ordered, He Mingcan quickly brought up several items.
As the blue bamboo cage was placed on the table and the lid was lifted, a fresh fragrance burst out along with the white steam.
Jasmine opened her eyes wide in surprise.
The scent is so charming!
It is a very fresh and rich fragrance, and it smells light and not greasy at all.
It reminded her involuntarily... When she was a child, grandma would pick very fresh wild vegetables in spring, which had a unique and charming fragrance that belonged to the mountains.The green vegetable stalks are already a rare delicacy endowed by nature just by being boiled with water.
And at this moment... She felt this feeling again.
Six exquisite and small buns sat obediently on the bamboo cage. The skin was so thin that it was almost translucent, revealing the color of the stuffing.
Jasmine felt the appetite for a long time, and she didn't need Liu Xiao's reminder, she had already consciously touched the chopsticks and porcelain spoon by the table.
Liu Xiao reminded: "There is soup in the Xiaolongbao, you have to be careful. Usually we will take a bite first, suck the soup, and then start eating."
Jasmine nodded, indicating that she understood.
She picked up a small steamed bun, put it on a porcelain spoon, followed Liu Xiao's prompt, took a small bite first, and let the soup flow into her mouth.
"...!!!"
The taste exploded at this moment.
Jasmine stopped her movements in disbelief. She tasted the very fresh wild vegetable flavor sandwiched in the unusually tender and sweet pork stuffing. The fat and lean ratio of the meat stuffing was just right. It was neither greasy nor full of the flavor of the meat itself.Mellow.And the shredded shepherd's purse, like the treasure hidden in the minced meat, has an undeniable fragrance...
The whole xiao long bao is not heavy in taste and has not been enriched with heavy ingredients.But that scent has been diffused into the heart, soft and healing.
The slightly hot soup warmed the mouth, and then slid down the esophagus into the stomach, making the stomach feel comfortable.
Jasmine was extremely pleasantly surprised. It took her a while to swallow the steamed stuffed bun cherishingly, and stammered, "Okay, delicious. Liu Xiao, thank you so much."
Jasmine thought she would hear Liu Xiao say "you're welcome".
As a result... Liu Xiao, who is usually very polite, ignored her.
Jasmine: "...?!"
She raised her head, and immediately saw... the girl in front of her was eating meat with big mouthfuls.
Jasmine had never tried this kind of eating.
Regardless of the gravy sticking to the lips and sliding down the corners of the mouth, and the fact that the mouth is too big to make people feel inappropriate... The girl grabbed a stick bone with both hands, and gnawed boldly and intently.
Obviously...not a beautiful eating appearance.
Jasmine's eyes were straightened.
Really, really... That big bone is too tempting.
Fresh pork bones are cut into sections by a heavy knife, and after a long time of stewing in a large pot, the surface is marinated with a pretty sugar color.
After cooking, the big bone exudes a tangy sauce aroma.The large piece of pork attached to the bone has been stewed until it is extremely soft and rotten. With a slight push of a finger, it will slip off the bone.Fascinating taste.
And that big piece of soft and delicious pork bone is not the most tempting... Jasmine's eyes can't help being attracted by the fascia in that piece of meat. Under the chandelier, the fascia is golden, slightly transparent, with QThe gelatinous texture of the elastic, Liu Xiao just bit it lightly, and the fascia that was supposed to be tough and chewy was easily broken by her.
It's like the kind... the beef tendon has been boiled for a long time, with a soft, glutinous and elastic texture.
Jasmine didn't realize that she had silently... stared blankly.
Lu big bone, just thirty centimeters away from her.
She could easily smell some spices, probably bay leaves, star anise and the like.Jasmine didn't know much about spices, and she didn't like this method originally.After all, in her opinion, the most delicious food is the natural taste.
but now……
Jasmine was surprised to find that she didn't seem to be resistant to Youhua anymore, she just wanted to taste it for herself, how delicious would be the marinated big bone rich in gum, oil and protein.
"Liu, Liu Xiao..." the quiet girl said softly, "I also want to eat a big stewed bone."
After finishing speaking, under Liu Xiao's surprised gaze, she got up and went to the counter to order.
...
[Lin, are you going to surprise your girlfriend?Are you sure you're not scared?]
Lin saw the news on the social platform and quickly replied: [I told Jasmine that I will come!She also told me the password of the apartment, of course it wasn't a shock, I just came a day early!]
Lin: [Don't tell Jasmine in advance, I have prepared a gift, so I won't be surprised if I tell you.]
Reply from the other side: [Okay!By the way, give my regards to Jasmine.]
Lin put down his phone and looked around his girlfriend's apartment. They lived together when they were in the country, so he was very familiar with Jasmine's living habits.
Seeing that everything was placed in a familiar position, Lin smiled.
He knew this, and Jasmine should still be in the library, so she didn't urge her, so she just leaned on the sofa and played with her mobile phone for a while, waiting quietly.When he was hungry, he went to the kitchen.
Jasmine's craftsmanship is very good. She is picky about food and often makes bento by herself.
With vague expectations, Lin opened his girlfriend's refrigerator...
...
When Jasmine opened the apartments, she was startled by the bright lights in the room.
Did she forget to turn off the lights when she went out?
Jasmine walked through the porch in a daze, and was surprised to see... her boyfriend, whom she had not seen for several months, was holding a bouquet of flowers, standing in the hall and looking at her with a smile.
The petals of the flowers are covered with dew, which is delicate and charming.
Jasmine: "...!!!"
Lin happily looked at the happy smile on Jasmine's face, and her eyes turned red...
Sure enough, my little girlfriend will still miss him living alone in a foreign country.
Jasmine moved and asked, "Why are you here? Didn't you mean tomorrow's plane?"
Lin: "I miss you so much, I can't wait for a day."
Although Jasmine knew that her boyfriend would come, but at the moment she saw him, happiness still overflowed her chest.She walked towards her boyfriend in a daze, and took the flowers with both hands...
However, after approaching her boyfriend, Jasmine smelled the charming fragrance of flowers...
A very tempting meaty taste.
Oily, salty, with hints of star anise and fragrant leaves.
Jasmine froze in place. She pushed the flowers back, then quickly walked into the kitchen, walked to the refrigerator standing in the corner, and opened——
what!!Her braised bones!!!
...
After a while.
Lin turned on the phone in a daze, and typed cautiously behind his girlfriend's back.
Lin: [Is my arrival really a shock?!]
Lin: [Why does Jasmine look angry, she is never angry!]
Reply from the other side: [Are you kidding me?]
[How could Jasmine be angry? She has such a good temper. I have never seen her angry.]
Forest:[……]
Lin: [I don't know.]
Lin: [Tell me, does she not love me anymore?]
Lin: [You've known her for a long time, hurry up and analyze it for me.]
Replied from the other side: [Lin, you think too much!]
[Maybe Jasmine is just not in a good mood tonight.]
Lin: [No, we have been separated for several months, and I miss her so much!]
Lin: [But she is ignoring me now!]
Forest:[……]
Lin: [I think she really doesn't love me anymore...]
This night, in a corner that Jiang Ci didn't know about.
A diner who had eaten stewed big bone had a sleepless night.
The author has something to say:
Alas, after writing this chapter, found that there is no stewed big bone in the delivery range...
The heartache is indescribable.
